Additionally, respondents must provide at least two professional references, current business registrations, and executed affidavits covering affirmative action, non-segregated facilities, non-collusion, and respondent disclosures. The selection process will evaluate responses based on completeness and quality (10%), responsiveness to requirements (25%), professional qualifications and experience (25%), proposed work plan (25%), and project fees and hourly rates (15%). Sealed qualification statements must be submitted electronically through the City's e-Procurement Portal at https://secure.procurenon.com/portal/scrantonpa by 10:00 am on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, with a question submission deadline of 11:59 pm on February 19, 2026.

Pricing will be structured as an annual fee divided into twelve equal monthly installments, with respondents required to submit hourly rates and all associated costs to fulfill the scope of services; however, specific contract value or budget range information is not provided in the available documentation. The contract term and renewal options are not specified. Prospective respondents must register and follow the solicitation on the City's e-Procurement Portal to receive automatic addenda notifications and maintain eligibility for consideration.
